The Florida Joker, also known as Lawrence Sullivan, has made headlines once again. This time, he has announced that he will not pursue legal action against Rockstar Games over a character in GTA 6. Instead, he has expressed his desire to voice the character in the highly anticipated game.

For those unfamiliar with the backstory, the controversy began when Sullivan threatened to sue Rockstar Games unless he was compensated for what he perceived as a reference to him in the GTA 6 trailer. The upcoming game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, which is based on Florida. Fans noticed striking similarities between a character in the game and Sullivan, who gained internet fame after his 2017 mugshot went viral, earning him the moniker ‘Florida Joker’ due to his distinctive green hair and face tattoos.

Although the GTA 6 version of the character sports purple hair instead of green and some different face tattoos, the resemblance was undeniable. This led to speculation that Rockstar Games had drawn inspiration from Sullivan’s public persona for the game character.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Sullivan has announced that he is no longer pursuing legal action. Instead, he has expressed his eagerness to lend his voice to the character in GTA 6. This unexpected development has sparked renewed interest in the controversy surrounding the character’s resemblance to Sullivan.

As anticipation for GTA 6 continues to build, the Florida Joker’s latest statement has added an intriguing twist to the ongoing debate. It remains to be seen how Rockstar Games will respond to Sullivan’s proposition and whether it will impact the portrayal of the character in the final release of the game.
